My, oh my, are the price of books shooting through the roof. Check out this nice mailing from the Mizzou Library I received Saturday (sent via first class mail, o’course):

You can see the amount the School paid for the book in the upper right-hand corner of the book itself. Compare that with the price they wanna charge me for it - all because it is a month late. Somehow the book’s mere association with the MU Library causes its value to increase 39 -fold.

What you don’t see is the other 22 books for which I am being charged. I’ll have to go find those books and turn them in soon.
